Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the Psalm not as a distant promise but as your inner state. When I say I trust in thee, I awaken as the consciousness that loves thy name and rejoices in thy presence. Replacing fear with the quiet confidence that God defends, you experience protection not as an external battle won, but as an inner shift: the sense that you are encompassed with favor as with a shield. The righteous are simply the alignment of your attention with the I AM, and blessing follows as you dwell in this inner posture. The verse teaches that joy comes from trust; so let your attention dwell on the feeling of being shielded, and the external circumstances begin to harmonize with that vibration. You are not seeking proof; you are becoming the proof by assuming that the Lord is your refuge and that love's name is your natural state. In practice, reveal the assumption and revise any contrary thought until it collapses into joy and security.
